A member asked:

Hello. i want to change my pooping schedule from morning about 10am to evening, how could i do it?

Well...: That is an interesting question. When you defalcate it is related to the amount of food you eat and what it is that you eat. Changing your habits may help. I would advise against using laxatives for this.
